You are bidding on a 2002 BMW M3 Convertible. Experience open air, sports car performance in a four-passenger car you can drive every day. The 3.2L inline six-cylinder engine generates 333 hp, has an 8000 RPM redline and a 0-60 time of 5.4 seconds! Combine this with phenomenal handling and braking and you have the complete package for a true driver's car.
You are purchasing this car from its original owner, who ordered it to his specifications from BMW Seattle in 2002. It has been garaged since new in a smoke-free environment and has never been smoked in or even driven by a smoker. No pets have ever ridden in this car. The fully-automatic power top works excellently and has never leaked. This car is all original and can be enjoyed as is or customized to suit your tastes.
This car is equipped with a Formula One-derived Sequential Manual Gearbox (SMG). SMG is a real manual transmission with a hydraulically-actuated clutch in place of the clutch pedal. It gives you lightning-fast shifts from steering wheel-mounted paddles or the console-mounted shifter, while being easy to drive around town or in stop-and-go traffic.
This car is finished in a rare and stunning color combination of a Titanium Silver exterior and Black roof with an Imola Red and Black interior that is a constant source of compliments. It comes with a full complement of standard features including BMW M suspension and rear differential, automatic climate control, and rollover protection. It is well optioned, including Harmon-Kardon premium sound, xenon headlights with light sensor, rain-sensing wipers, rear parking sensors, and rear side airbags. In addition to the factory options, the car has a 3M Clear Bra that was installed when the car was new and comes with a genuine BMW wind blocker ($500 if purchased new). iPod connectivity was added in late 2011, though the iPod plug is currently damaged and needs to be repaired. The standard 18" wheels are wearing Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus ultra-high performance all-season tires; the rear tires have less than 14K miles on them and the front tires have 10K miles.
The car has been serviced regularly since new only at authorized BMW dealers and an independent shop that specializes in BMWs. Detailed service records are available upon request.
The car comes with its original keys and full set of manuals, the original Monroney (window) sticker, and even the original brochures. You will not find a nicer specimen of this model!
I love this car and still drive it regularly, but have to make room in my garage for a new car that's on the way.
Please contact me if you have other questions or would like to see additional photos of the car and its documentation. Serious inquiries only please.

BMW M5 turns 30, celebrates sideways
Sun, 13 Apr 2014BMW has a secret, and it's not telling. The brand's M Power blog is celebrating the 30th anniversary of the M5 and is taking a look back at previous models of its Autobahn-storming sedan, but it says that it will end "with a surprise." The celebration kicks off with a short video showing the latest M5 making some smoky donuts.
The original M5 debuted in 1985 and was the company's most expensive model at the time. Still, it packed a 3.5-liter six-cylinder generating a claimed 282 horsepower (286 PS), which was rather potent in its day. The company touted it as the world's fastest production four-door sports sedan at the time.
BMW won't reveal the surprise until it has chronicled all five generations of the M5, but it wouldn't be shocking to see an anniversary edition model appear sometime later this year. Scroll down to check out the video of the muscle sedan celebrating its birthday the only way it knows how.
BMW web sales plan opposed by German dealers
Tue, 23 Jul 2013Tesla isn't the only manufacturer that is facing a backlash over its plans to sell cars directly to customers. BMW is under fire from its German dealerships over its desire to sell its cars via the internet.
BMW has plans to sell the new i3 through the World Wide Web, while a "Mobile Sales Force" will be making house calls. According to Automotive News Europe, Head of German Sales Roland Krueger told German weekly Wirtschaftswoche, "We can imagine that Internet sales could be expanded to all models." This is the particular caveat that has traditional brick-and-mortar dealers so up in arms.
According to the head of BMW's German dealerships Werner Entenmann, "We told BMW in no uncertain terms that we cannot accept direct sales channels." Reuters reports that an anonymous dealer has gone so far as to pledge not to use the sales force in Germany. Krueger, for what it's worth, told Wirtschaftswoche that the "backbone" of BMW sales will still be traditional dealerships.
Tesla in talks with BMW about batteries, charging collaborations
Wed, Nov 26 2014With Toyota and Daimler no longer holding Tesla shares, the electric vehicle company might be looking for a new partner – possibly a Bavarian one. In a new interview with Germany's Der Spiegel, CEO Elon Musk confirmed that he has had talks with BMW execs about future collaboration. "We are talking about whether we can collaborate in battery technology or charging stations," Musk said in the interview, according to Reuters. However, a Tesla spokesperson has tempered things by saying no formal agreements are in place at the moment. In the same interview, Musk reportedly praised BMW's use of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic in its i sub-brand offerings, and said he would like to have a battery factory in Germany in the next five or six years. The possibility of technological cooperation between Tesla and BMW has been a hot topic this year. In June, Musk reportedly met with BMW execs, and the two companies were also rumored to have met with Nissan to discuss charging technology. When Daimler sold off its shares, there was talk of it opening the way for possible collaboration between the two automakers, as well.
